A Light Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
It was too late to head home, so the two decided to spend the night at a hotel. Lying side by side on one bed, Yura fell asleep nestled in Lee Hyun’s arms.
Early in the morning, Yura blinked her eyes, staring blankly at Secretary Ahn, who stood holding a paper bag with a composed expression. Her plan to go home and change clothes had just evaporated into thin air.
She felt guilty, thinking that someone who graduated from a top-tier university and worked as Vice President CH’s secretary surely didn’t do it just to run errands for clothes. Though the one who’d actually given the order was someone else entirely, Yura still felt awkward and gave an uneasy smile.
Just as Yura finished changing clothes and was tidying her hair, her phone rang early in the morning. Seeing the word “Mom” appear on the screen, she answered reluctantly.
“Yes.”
-Where are you?
“At home. What’s going on?”
-Do you have time tonight?
“What’s this about?”
-Do I need a reason to see my own daughter?
Yura couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
Having become independent due to conflicts with her father, Yura had never met her mother separately before their wedding discussion came up. Young Eun, too, had never once visited Yura’s home or workplace. So Young Eun’s sudden warmth felt utterly absurd.
“Just say whatever you need to say now.”
Young Eun’s hesitant tone—clearly evident even through the sigh she let out—grated on Yura’s nerves. This wasn’t the kind of affectionate person her mother usually was, and a vague sense of unease crept over her.
-…It’s about CEO Baek.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
